A more natural blended approach using ink wash. Of course they don't really us ink anymore they do it on the computer.

Cross hatching using criss cross lines to show shadow on top of a colored area. The colored area can be blended together or just one flat color.

Hatching using single lines to show shadow on top of a colored area. The colored area can be blended together or just one flat color.

Block shading for shadows on top of colored area. The colored area can be blended together or just one flat color.

Feathering using parallel lines on top of colored area. The colored area can be blended together or just one flat color.

I tend to favor a blend of Block Shading and Feathering on color that is blended together.

If nothing we do matters then all that matters is what we do. because that's all there is. What we do. Now. Today.

I guess in your list it would be block shading. It's what I tend to use. When I try to feather and blend it doesn't look right to me so I start blocking it all. lol

Yeah Cell Shading and Block Shading are the same. It's a lot easier for me to do than natural. Although I can do it it's just a shit ton of work.
